Self-regulation and the ability to make people self-regulate themselves in a better way has been the subject of many studies since the last few decades (Kotler, Roberto, Lee, 2002; Andreasen, 1995). The ability to self-regulate can be important in all aspects of life. When focusing on business, the people behind the business and exchange of products and services are an important factor for a good working economy and society in general (Lazer, Kelley,
1973). People may influence business and economics in an indirect way, for example, by feeling unhappy about their lives which leads to the influence of business in a direct way by working too slowly or being unfriendly to customers. These behaviors may influence profits and sales. The ability to self-regulation is a main aspect in the behavior of people. To be able
to obtain a goal, not only at a workplace, but also in life in general, people have to be able to self-regulate (Bandura, 1977).
Self-regulation appears to be central to effective functioning in a number of ways: in impulse control, time management, and coping with emotions or stress (Murtagh, Todd, 2004). Many clinical conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, may be viewed as limiting and restricting the individuals ability to self-regulate and cope with everyday challenges and stress. Clarifying the nature of this active self has implications
at both personal and societal levels (Murtagh, Todd, 2004). This makes clear that self- regulation is an important aspect in society and failure of it can be the source of many problems.
To understand what moves people and why they regulate themselves in a certain way, it is important to know which factors influence behaviors, attitudes and ideas (Baumeister, Heatherton, Tice, 1994). From there on it will be possible to guide the self-regulation process,
to understand individuals and to make society as a whole develop in the right direction, without the enormous costs of self-regulation failure (Schmeichel, Baumeister, 2004).
People in the third world suffering from AIDS can be seen as a form of self-regulation failure which influences society as a whole and which therefore brings about high costs (Hunter,
2003). Although the AIDS problem is quite under control in the Western world, it is still a dramatic epidemic in sub-Saharan countries.
